Flood: Minister Of Comm, Shittu Sympathises With Oyo Govt, Victims
The Honourable Minister of Communication, Alhaji Adebayo Shittu has sent a message of sympathy to the Oyo State Government and the victims of the unfortunate flood disaster that ravaged Ibadan, the capital city of the state after a heavy rainfall recently.
The flood, which submerged several houses, destroyed several properties, displaced thousands of residents and paralysed commercial activities, has thus caused hunger, deprivation and untold hardship to the people affected by the disaster.
In a message personally signed by him and made available to the media, the Minister wrote, “my heart goes out to the government of the state and victims of the unfortunate incident at this period when all Nigerians are supporting the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to succeed in its people’s oriented programs that are aimed at putting the country back on track.”
The concerned Minister however assured Nigerians of the Buhari’s administration’s commitment to ensure a safer environment for the generality of the citizenry just as he expressed optimism that the state government under the leadership of Governor Abiola Ajimobi would do everything necessary to address the issue to assuage the suffering of the victims and prevent reoccurrence of the sad development.
He therefore prayed the almighty Allah to come to the aid of the affected family and replenish them abundantly to overcome the shock, economic hardship, financial setback and untold dicomfort the disaster has brought onto them.
